Half Life 2 on Sale!?

I just back from a visit to our local Best Buy, and guess what I found?

The real question is now, am I going to be allowed to play it? I'll let you know in a few! I started a thread in our forums to discuss it and see what everyone else is finding out...

UPDATE: Well, guys, looks like this is a NO GO on playing HL2.

After installing the game, and then trying to run it, I get this setup seen above. I first tried to play it without internet access, but of course that didn't work either. While technically this is Best Buy's fault for selling early, Valve is going get the brunt of the storm from the "average joe" that just buys things and expects them to work...
